Radical Party of Brazil

The Radical Party of Brazil was a radical political party in Brazil which existed from 1848 to 1936. The party was founded by bourgeois opponents of the established Catholic Church and the privileges of the wealthy landowning and merchant elites, and it advocated for the elimination of trade and economic regulations, the elimination of religion's role in society, the extension of full rights to all residents of Brazil, and a strong military. The party dissolved at the start of the Vargas Era during the 1930s.
